Tire Rack link is up…

Posted on February 19th, 2010 by DJ

Over to your right under sponsors is a link to the Tire Rack site. Following that link and buying something will get into the affiliate plan. This plan is pretty easy you spend on the Tire Rack Site and Tire Rack will reward us with a 6% commission on your sale. So if you were going to buy something off Tire Rack, why not use that link, and help out the SRRSCCA.

Thanks again Wold for all the hard work.

SRRSCCA Event Pre-Registration is now OPEN!!!!

Posted on February 19th, 2010 by DJ

Hello members.

The new Event Pre-Registration is on-line and ready to use. Just to the right there is the link to the page. Within the page is a walk-through on the steps to use the process.

This program is for members only. Along with the other perks of being a SCCA member, the use of the Event Pre-Registration is a new one. On top of that. The use of the Event Pre-Registration process also has its own benefits. Namely, the online registration discount at Expo Center events. If a member registers for an Expo Center event using the Event Pre-Registration process, there will be no extra $10 charge in event fee’s. So in effect. If a member registered for all of the offered Expo events, that is a savings of $80 for the season.

Now logistically speaking using this program will cut your wait in the registration line to almost nil. You will still have to make a trip to the registration area, but it will be extremely short. There will be a registration person, with a copy of the members that have registered using the Event Pre-Registration process, that person will check your name off on the list, as you get your wristband. It will be that easy, separate line that will be moving as fast as people can get their wristbands.

Now…With all the changes that have been implemented over the off-season the first event will be a bit chaotic. The BOD and the timing team have worked very hard to implement a process that we think will stream-line the pre-race needs. So for the first couple events, there will be additional people working the entrance to the tech/registration area kinda directing traffic. Please be patient with these people and this new process. I don’t really see any snags in the system or the process, but I know that there will be some “fine” tuning.

If anyone has any questions about the Event Pre-Registration, PayPal, or the pre-event revamp please feel free to contact me using my contact djrementeria@srrscca.com or call me 208-861-2522.

Thank you

P.S. Almost forgot. If you notice above I said $20 and $30, but in the registration process it comes up as $21 and $31. PayPal charges a small fee on ever transaction. That extra dollar covers that. Just FYI…

Tell me about how you got into racing…was it AutoX? Or something else?

I always liked motorsports. Really it just came down to the trying of the 2 outlets available to me. I tried Drag and then AutoX. Drag just seemed kinda boring. Honestly, I was horrible at both of them. Some friends of mine had to explain that you didn’t actually wait for the green light to go at Drag Racing. I went with autoX but cause at least my hands were shaking when I finished a run…

What was your first car you raced?

Audi TT. I was working at Petersons, and already had a nice Audi A4. I bought the TT right off the truck, with 5 miles on it. Soon after the racing seasons started and I took it out to race it. It wasn’t the greatest AutoX car. I did a full season in BS and got my ass handed to me at every event by the other guys in the class…but I was hooked. Sold that car and searched for a couple years for the right time and opportunity to buy a better platform.
